Friends and Daggers: The Psalms - Picture Promises of Messiah

For 40 Days After the Resurrection, Jesus Opened the Scriptures and He Opened His Disciples' Eyes

The Bible ... a “Closed” Book?
Have you ever felt as if the Old Testament is ...

• a "closed" book for you?
• daunting, overwhelming, confusing, strange, irrelevant, inaccessible, unnecessary, beyond comprehension?
• for pastors and professors BUT NOT for me?

If you have ever felt that way, take heart. The disciples felt the same way.

All of the Scriptures Point to Jesus

For forty days after His resurrection, Jesus appeared to His disciples and taught them about the Kingdom of God. He opened up the Old Testament (the Books of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms) and "eXPlained" to them that all of the Scriptures foretold, foreshadowed and revealed His suffering, death and resurrection for the forgiveness of sins.

As We Open the Scriptures, Jesus Opens our Eyes

What Jesus did with His disciples, He also wants to do with us.

When we open up the Scriptures, He will open our eyes to see and our hearts to believe, that His death and resurrection give to us the greatest gift, the forgiveness of sins.

And when you have the forgiveness of sins in Jesus, you have ... everything!
